Beyond risk factors
Background Each year, approximately 1.5 million Americans attempt suicide, and repeated attempts pose heightened risks for individuals, families, and communities. These attempts can result in long-lasting injuries, isolation, and psychological distress. Research relies heavily on structured quantitative data, limiting insight into interpersonal and situational dynamics. Although mental health concerns are well-established risk factors for suicida…
Know Your (Secondary) Data Inside and Out
This study examines how undocumented item-level missingness during scale construction of the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory (YPI) within the Pathways to Desistance dataset accessed through ICPSR can shape the measurement properties and downstream use of the measure in secondary analysis. Patterns of item absence/nonresponse in the YPI are documented and the measure is reconstructed using a prorated scoring approach. Summated and prorated ver…
Experimental effects of a restrictive housing step-down program on violent and non-violent misconduct
A methodological template for the next generation
Birds of a Feather?
Gang membership has a robust relationship with crime and violence, leading scholars to take an interest in examining the sources of gang joining. One understudied line of inquiry is individual differences, which are rank-order or time-stable characteristics that vary between people. One reason for this lack of attention is the debate around whether researchers should examine individual differences at all. This chapter takes stock of studies condu…
“The Covid-19 pandemic and operational challenges, impacts, and lessons learned
Revisiting the relationship between age, employment, and recidivism
Employment theoretically serves as a source of informal social control that can promote desistance from crime (Sampson & Laub, 1993). Findings from studies assessing the effects of employment, however, have been mixed. In a seminal study, Uggen (2000) reanalyzed data from the National Supported Work (NSW) Demonstration Project and found that employment significantly reduced the rate of recidivism among individuals aged 27 and older but had no imp…
Procedural justice, legal orientations, and gang membership
A top priority of prison authorities is maintaining a safe and orderly institutional environment. Gangs are believed to impede this objective, warranting bespoke policies and practices. Drawing on the process‐based model of regulation, we depart from orthodox explanations for the gang–misconduct link and argue that gang affiliates are treated less fairly than nongang affiliates owing to suppression‐oriented administrative policies and harsher day…
